This Will Be My Year — Semisonic
Chords and lyrics for This Will Be My Year by Semisonic (key of D).
Intro
D* A* Em G (4x)
* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first
string
on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open
until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording. This only
happens in the intro, though.
Verse
[D]Thursday's crush is a [A]Friday night rush
And a [Em]Monday morning [G]cry
It's the [A]tail that you keep [G]chasing
And it [A]gets away every [G]time
[D]New Year's Eve and it's [A]hard to believe
Another [Em]Zodiac's gone [G]around
While you [A]drank yourself high on [G]hoping
And watched the [A]ceiling spin from the [G]ground
Pre-Chorus
[F#]Counting down from ten it's time
To make[Bm] your annual prayer
[F#]Secret Santa in the sky
When [Bm]will I get my [E]share
Chorus
Then you [Em]tell yourself[D]
What you [A]want to hear[E]
Cause you [Em]have to believe[G]
This will [A]be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
This will be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
Verse
[D]Pound your fist and cross it [A]off your list
But you [Em]know you're not that [G]strong
When the [A]man at the stop light [G]catches you
Singing [A]along to a brand new song[G]
Well maybe it's
[D]Trash or the overnight [A]smash that brings your
[Em]Ship crashing through the wall[G]
So you can [A]make your grand departure[G]
>From a[A] world getting way too [G]small
Pre-Chorus
[F#]One wheel in the ditch another
[Bm]Spinning in the air
[F#]Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not
[Bm]Getting anywhere[E]
Chorus
Then you [Em]tell yourself[D]
What you [A]want to hear[E]
Cause you [Em]have to believe[G]
This will [A]be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
This will be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
This will be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
This will be my [D][A]year[G][Em]
Outro
D A Em G until end.
